Republican Protected ‘Traditional Marriage’ Before Cheating on His Wife, Hiding It With Gay-Sex Hoax

Gideon Resnick

Two conservative politicians talked up ‘traditional values’ while they cheated on their spouses with each other.

The only thing worse for a man than an extramarital affair with a woman is an extramarital affair with another man.

At least that’s what Republican state Representative Todd Courser of Michigan was thinking when he schemed to distribute an email alleging he had sex with a man to cover up his affair with fellow Republican and state Representative Cindy Gamrat.

“It will make anything else that comes out after that—that isn’t a video—mundane, tame by comparison,” Courser told his aide Ben Graham, who secretly recorded his boss before getting fired for refusing to send the email. Courser and Gamrat have both declined to discuss whether the firing of aides on their staff had anything to do with this relationship cover-up.

Courser and Gamrat, both of whom are married and have children, styled themselves as pro-family politicians. They both rose from the tea party and developed a legislative alliance with the express goal of returning Michigan to the conservative values of yore.

with a woman?

This has got to be one of the seriously crazy/stupid things I've heard in loooooong time



Well, I'm sure that the guy's family and ("pro-family" organizations) will be so relieved to know that he just had an extramarital affair with a woman and not another man........
